Your contributed article, Kellin quinn

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Kellin quinn. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Sleeping with Sirens. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Sleeping with Sirens – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. — further, Francophonie&Androphilie sayeth naught (Je vous invite à me parler) 07:17, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Fen Research

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Fen Research requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

You can say on the talk page that the company's founder gives it a credible claim of significance if you like, and add some more context to that in the article. The article really needs some reliable secondary sources about the company if it's going to stay beyond that, though. We need to be able to show that it meets WP:NCORP. --McGeddon (talk) 13:38, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fen

You say, "It's a legitimate company. A company, no matter how small it is, deserves a place on the wiki, we come here for information in general, not for things that are deemed significant. Of course, someone could just go look up the company itself, but they should be able to rely on wikipedia for such things as well.". I'm afraid that there is no right to have an article here. This is an encyclopaedia, not a directory. To have an article, a company must pass WP:CORP, and the notability must be proved with reliable independent sources WP:RS. If we didn't have restrictions, we'd have to have articles about the flower seller in Little Twittering Market, Joe Bloggs's hamster in Downby in the Swamp, and so on. We'd be another Facebook, in other words. Their basis is that everyone can have a page (unless taken down for terrorism or certain other antisocial things). Ours is that we record what's notable. It's a 'like it or lump it' situation. No notability = no article. No 'they'll soon be famous'. I remember an article about an American company - millions of dollars in turnover, products on millions of tables every day, but no article. They made own brand goods for chain stores. Not one product had their name on it. Outside the raw material suppliers, the chain store purchasing departments, their employees, and the Infernal Revenue, no-one had heard of them, written about them or reviewed them. Big business, but not notable. Conversely, we have an article about a bus shelter on a Scottish island, which achieved note on both sides of the Atlantic. It had the coverage in RS.
